One more sleep: Florida Xtreme Triathlon

Trimarni



With only one more sleep until we embark on the longest endurance adventure that we have ever attempted (mentally and physically), I wanted to share how we prepared for this event.

There were no shortcuts, quick fixes or extreme approaches. We never felt like we were training specifically for this event - especially with the uncertainty of all that is going on in this nation. More so, we only registered for the event in early September.

This season has been all about new opportunities and experiences and we made sure to take full advantage of a season of cancelled races. With none of our planned races on the summer calendar, we explored new cycling routes in Greenville and we had fun participating in different events. Building off years of consistent training, we took a leap and tried new approaches with our training. Thankfully, we stayed healthy and injury free. Perhaps much of this was due to never feeling the pressure to one-up a previous workout. We found the balance between being dedicated to training and respecting our mental health during this extraordinarily difficult time in our life.

This event will be a new challenge – something we have never experienced before. We won't be viewing this as a race but an adventure. While the event did require physical and mental preparation, it will still test us in ways that we have never experienced before. 

Even though an Ironman distance triathlon is a huge feat and we are extremely grateful that we are capable of racing in an Ironman distance triathlon, this year provided us with a unique opportunity to step beyond the comfort zone. It would be easy to settle for comfortable and just continue on with the training that we are familiar with – much like we have done year after year. But life is short and for the first time in a very long time, we were given a wild opportunity to explore our capabilities. 

When you are afraid to fail, you stay in a place of comfort. While it’s a fun place to be, it’s not where you grow. 

We are looking forward to this upcoming adventure. And yes, with 300+ miles to cover from one coast of Florida to the other, we are viewing this as an adventure race. We will have fun, we want to stay safe, we will have highs and lows and we will question why the heck we are doing this. But like any challenge, we will learn. We will grow. And we will add another incredible chapter to our book of memories.

Thank you for the support and the virtual cheers. We really appreciate the support!

While there won't be live results, you can check out the Xtreme Triathlon website and Facebook page for updates. I'll do my best to update my social media channels (Facebook and Instagram).
